[QUOTE="Pathfinder, post: 210569, member: 21250"] Harry ji, At sea, all I have known is dictatorship. Democracy at sea is the surest and fastest way to sink a ship. Taking orders without question comes naturally to us sailors. To us, the Master or the Captain is all knowing, the one who puts self between harm and his crew/vessel. He knows and does best for his crew. Having lived in such a conditioned atmosphere for 24 years faith in Waheguru Ji is easy to sustain for us sailors. : I don't know how to quote selected parts of your message so I'll just try answering in order. I shall copy your questions. Does a man watching his wife of leprosy still reply that she is still beautiful? that watching her fade away is more painful than death itself, where is the truth then? what form does it take? is it simple enough to transfer to the spoken word? - A woman only grows more beautiful the more one loves her. If[SIZE=16px] beauty is not just skin deep and she is truly loved then damn leprosy or cancer, nothing can stop the beauty radiating within her from growing. Is living truthfully the same as not lying? [/SIZE] - Not lying is an effort, the voyage. Living truthfully is a way of life, the cumilation of the above. what I am saying is that lying in itself has little to do with whether one lives in truth. -Truth and lies are like dark and light. Both cannot coexist together. - If the Guru ji used any subterfuge it doesn't change anything as far as I am concerned. The Guru ji did a million other things that I cannot ever do and so this is just one of them. The Guru ji sacrificed his sons, his family too. Can I do that? No, so there is no way I will even dwell on that. then you can not operate in today's society, it would only work on a desert island or if you had solitude, or if the people around you had also risen. - Trust me, I know how difficult it is to stand out in a crowd. Sikhi is not easy,but then no one said it is too. Yes, I am feeling isolated already. And I am still not an Amritdhari too. Believe me freinds avoid me like I have the plague. How does that statement reflect the above story? - I have no counter, he is my Master and I am his crew. He knows best. I have never questioned any Captain nor have I been questioned as a Captain. Some mysteries are better left unsolved. A sailor has very few questions. You are the opposite of me and I like that. I hardly question things. You dig deep and yes, I love your approach. Meticulous, inquisitive, seeking the details. At sea you would have scared me seriously - with your hunger to probe for details. But here, it's refreshing and informative. 'zen and the art of motorcycling maintenance' - I swear I would rant about bikes endlessly if this were any other forum. You[SIZE=16px] are the nth person to quote this book. Riders swear by this. I have yet to read it unfortunately. [/SIZE] Oh yes, I hate cars. Why, because they are everything opposite of what a bike is. One must not feel the imperfections on the road.
